My Dream - GOD DID IT

Greetings from my home to yours,

I had a dream last night that I woke up remembering and wanted to share it with all of you this day. I as wandering from this place to that recognizing some family and friends and even remembering of having a discussion with them. Again I began to wander from place to place until I ended up in a tree house, (sort of like an attraction at Epcot Center or Disneyland) As I was exiting the long walkway a lady stopped me and said, "He is not able to help them like he wants", while turning to her husband. He looks at me and I continue to walk but turn and ask if he would like prayer. I place my hand upon his head and begin to pray. I know that what I pray he receives because he is giddy. Then I see letters forming on his shirt. It was then that I told him that with this gift I saw that he was to wear a shirt which had in uppercase bold letters, "GOD DID IT". He did not like that.

That is my dream. While thinking about it - me, myself, and I am reminded of four things.

1) when I pray and it is answered - not to be surprized that it happended
2) when I pray and it is answered - not to say, "wow, I prayed and this happened", like it was all mine to own
3) when I pray and it is not answered - to doubt God
4) when I pray and it is not answered - to blame myself

I am praying this morning for all of you, some of you I have never met and the odds of meeting this side of heaven are very slim. For others I have known for a short time and others for a longer time. Still I am praying for you this morning.


Abba Father, oh most Sovereign Lord, the omnipotent, omnipresent, Glorious LORD. Thank you for Your mercy and grace. That You, the God of the Universe, says Come to my Throne of Grace, Come commune with Me. Lord I ask in the Name of Jesus this day and this week for Your divine protection to abide in the lives of these precious ladies. I ask in the Name of Jesus, for Your Peace which passes all understanding to abide in the minds and hearts of these precious ladies. I ask for Your Faithfulness which endures forever and ever to abide in the lives of these precious ladies. LORD. Amen


Until next week,


Your dear friend and sister-in-Christ

Worship - A Big View of God

Greetings,

I wonder how your week has gone? Since I email on Wednesday our week is a little different than the traditional week but then who needs tradition when you are with friends. I'm sure that like me many of you know just how to present yourself in a crowd of people. It is different with each group: your work, your church, your friends. Now with toddlers it is the same. No matter the setting. (Oh except at Pa and Gamma's house) then it is totally different but that is another story. Toddlers have a way of just being themselves whereever they are. I often think that it's because they are asleep and don't really have to think about transitioning into another self. I recall when the children where toddlers that on the way to whereever they would fall asleep and they would wake up when we got there. Jesus stated to the disciples to let the little children come. Little children ages 18 months, 2 years, 3 years. To be just like these. Okay so maybe when you are stomping your feet and screaming at the top of your lungs because you did not get whatever you wanted to get isn't what God was saying how to be. He does equip us with the gifts to be able to be Christ-like and we do have the mind of Christ. Which leads me into worship - Let us Worship our Lord. In my devotional last week I was presented with a challenge to define worship. This is what I wrote:

WORSHIP - Singing Unto HIM
WORSHIP - Stating Aloud to HIM
WORSHIP - Thanking Always HIM
WORSHIP - Exalting the Name of JESUS
WORSHIP - Bowing Before HIM
WORSHIP - Believing In HIM
WORSHIP - Adoring HIM
The Great I AM

Abba Father, the Great I AM, as little children may we come and bow before Your Throne of Grace this day and this week and WORSHIP, with our singing, with our words, expressing thankfulness, believing in, adoring You and exalt the Name above all names, the Name of JESUS. Our most Sovereign Lord, who invites us to sup with HIM every morning. Dear sisters-in-Christ may your mornings and middays and evenings and night-times be filled with His Awesomeness. We are clothed, we are touched, we are cleansed, and we are healed by the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week

Looking Back

Greetings to my dear friends and sisters-in-Christ,

I am guilty of watching some reality shows and game shows. This past week I was watching two shows where the contestants were both women in their last 30's and early 40's. Each woman was single, still living at home with their parents and seemed to be content with that unless something like a new found love or a bundle of cash was suddenly dropped upon them. I began to think on this. Looking back I realized that I had said a number of times as a teenager that I was not going to get married until I was 26 or 27. I was QUITE content with just being at home. In fact I was not one to go on field trips at school because I didn't like being away from home. And I only went on one overnight pep rally because I got so homesick. I know that if GOD in His most Infinite Wisdom has not thrown me out of the nest I would have stayed, being quite content, with my folks. Thank you Lord. Am I ready to be stirred again to ask for the passion, to knock at the doors of life and have them opened wide with blessings, to seek that which desires to be found.

I pray for each of you this day dear sisters-in-Christ.

Abba Father, our most Sovereign and Holy GOD, who continually whispers our name, who has planned and purposed a life which no one can take away, a life where HE brings JOY, PEACE, HOPE, LOVE, EVERLASTING LIFE. Lord God may Your Glory abound in our hearts as we enjoy the journey and in the looking back may we thank You for where You took our hearts and our minds and our bodies and said You are mine and I want to bless You. Remain in Me. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Until next week,

Your dear friend and sister-in-Christ
